hi I never posted any of my tracks on here, because most of them suck, but I have gotten pretty far with this one, so I thought it was time I go some feedback. On the creative side, I have done as much as I can some suggestions would be cool, on the mixing side, I am not sure if it sounds good, because I have krk 5's and i know they literally have no bass on them. So some suggestions on that side would be helpful! I have pretty much used a spectrum analyser for most of my equing, and i did some parallel compression on the drums and bass in an attempt to glue them together.

bass is just fine here on my monitors - Bluesky

hig end lacks a little - it's not as crispy as a track of this type should be (IMHO)

production wise, I think it's lacking a bit of percussion to really drive it along, and I'd use some swooshes etc. to build a bit of energy

decent track though

hope this helps

those krk 5's must be really blasting those snare rolls cause in the build up I can't hear em for nothing. Go back and make em louder.

when your melody came in it sounded flat. I'd do something there too.

Lo-End rocks!!

The Plucks Rock!!

The pac man dying sound rocks!!

Pretty solid.. My kind of track..

but I'd Open up your synth pad a little more and fix the melody. Either the sound entirely, or fix how it sounds so flat.

Other than that, fairly good.

Really decent track this - can't see much not to like really.

Yea your snares are really low, what i tend to do is set a S/C triggered by the snares to the more heavy sounds in a build up or what ever.

That clap has a annoying reflection, I'd change the clap over all.
Is a ok track, but started to get boring at 4min, same S/C pad.
And for some reason it sounds to me like your lacking highs, like the song is LP.

thanks for the tips, going to definitely work on the top end, weird because that's the part I thought I had nailed.


you guys think its decent enough to send to a label? after I get it polished up of course.

I would say no. Its nothing new or exciting at all.
But dont let that discourage you! Keep at it

I'm not really sure If I can get you any constructive comment because I don't know what you are aiming for, what style or genre you had in your mine when you create this track --> for me could be a bit of Trance/House with some blend of Techno/Electro elements, is this true??

As for Trance, you would need to concentrate a bit more or melodic and more catchy sound design/selection part, but for Techno/Electro you need to pay more attention to groove, drive and energy which at this moment you are lacking some lol, but overall idea is there and need to be farther develop with more specific focus to take this track to another level, my only $0.02

Will try to elaborate more if you need some additional or more specific info.

Cheers,

Darek

Lots of cool ideas in this and much better than I was expecting, based on your post. The one issue that sticks out (for me, at least) is that the pluck is prominently featured, but gets a little tiring and static after a while. You might want to consider open/closing a filter on it (e.g., at transitions) or something just to make it less monotonous. Maybe consider changing the voicing (inversions) on some of the chords to make it go higher in some places to add some harmonic movement. Just a thought.

yeah i guess its a bit of everything, i didnt really aim for a genre, just wanted to make a melody driven dance track. as far as the groove, do you mean the percussion and the bass ? or just movement in general like cyro said.

any who thanks, I am def going to work on both.
